Erythronium hendersonii

erythronium_hendersonii

Erythronium hendersonii  is regarded by many Erythronium enthusiasts as one of the most choice. It is a bulbous perennial which grows up to 30cm in height. Its pale lavender petals are set off by a ‘blackcurrant’ eye in the centre of the flower. It comes into leaf towards the end of February and into flower in March.  Their leaves die back in June and appear again in early March, and the flowers shortly afterwards.

Erythronium hendersonii bulbs become dormant over the summer. The best time to buy and plant Erythronium bulbs is in July/August/September, because they will root down in the autumn while the soil is still warm.  The attractive glossy leaves start to emerge towards the end of February. 

Please note:  We send these to you as dormant, freshly lifted, flowering size bulbs from July through to September ready for potting up or planting directly into the garden. 

The species and cultivars of  Erythronium that we offer are all selected because they are good garden plants.  They grow well in dappled shade and the bulbs should be kept damp and not dried out. 

Our collection has taken many years to develop. It takes at least 5 years to grow a flowering sized bulb from seed and propagation by division is slow.

Morning. I received my order of Hellebores from you yesterday. It is my first time to order from you and I am very impressed with the quality of your plants! I will certainly recommend you to my gardening friends.

Helleborus x hybridus – mixed for pre-order 2024 (Plug)

Helleborus x hybridus 'Harvington Double Lilac Speckled'

Helleborus x hybridus ‘Harvington Double Lilac Speckled’ has been selected by Hugh Nunn and is just one variety of Harvington Hellebores® grown by Twelve Nunns. Harvington Hellebores® are excellent, easy to grow garden plants and flower at that time of year when there may be little or no other floral colour. They are winter flowering, frost hardy perennials, that reliably come back year after year, flowering from December through to the end of March. Their dark green, glossy, evergreen foliage also provides year-round interest. 

Hellebores look particularly attractive against planting companions such as snowdrops, aconites and early daffodils. They create a perfect ground cover for areas of dappled shade, such as borders under deciduous trees and shrubs, but will also thrive in patio pots.  

Upon receiving your Harvington Hellebores® plugs, please allow some light and air into your plants immediately and keep them in a cool light place.  Ensure that the plug plants are always kept moist and plant them as soon as possible after receiving them.  If possible, plant each plug in a 1 or 2 litre sized deep pot or container for this growing season so that they establish well before planting them out. Once they have rooted down into the pots, they will be ready to plant into the garden or into a larger pot or container in the autumn or following spring.
